The National Library of Ireland, in partnership with the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media and the Decade of Centenaries Programme, seeks to appoint a poet in residence to creatively engage with, and produce original work inspired by, two of our Commemorations-themed projects; the recent exhibition From Turmoil to Truce and the major cataloguing and digitisation project, Towards a Republic. This will be a key element of the Decade of Centenaries Programme 2021-2023.

It is envisaged that the project will span 12 months, from May 2021-May 2022. During this time the poet will work remotely, and onsite if restrictions allow, to create a series of poems (number to be confirmed) and participate in a range of online public engagement activities such as talks, panel discussions, readings and workshops.
